3 “No BS”​ Ways to Increase Business Right Now

Is your business doing well?

Regardless if you feel that you or thriving, or merely, surviving, here are three tips to help you build the business right now:

1)   Be flexible, creative and make an offer that people WANT. Don’t be rigid and stick to what you’ve always done before; old tricks just might not work. Do you know what your prospects want, what they crave, what they’ll say “yes” to? You don’t? Then why not find out. The best way to increase sales to provide products and services that the market wants. Even if you’re a superstar salesperson, if they don’t want it, you’ll probably have a difficult time getting them to buy. Why work so hard? Ask the right questions and the market will tell you what they want and need and perhaps even what they will pay for it.

2)   Have you looked at your existing database lately? The fasted ROT (return on time) comes from your existing clients, dormant accounts and even those prospects that never said “yes” but are still in that undecided stage. So take a close look; do it now! Start with the clients that have given you the least amount of business and find out if that is because they truly have no more sales potential or are they giving a portion (perhaps the larger portion) of their business to your competition. (You don’t want to leave business on the table, do you?)

3)   How good are you at staying on the grid? If you allow yourself to be “out of sight, out of mind” then you are not getting as much out of your prospecting efforts as you should. We are all inundated with marketing messages and if you are “checking in” and “touching base” then you are being banal and not winning the attention and interest of your prospects. Remember the three I’s (information, invitations, and introductions). Deploy them and you will be a sales superstar.

Start now; the sooner you take action, the sooner more business will flow into and through your sales funnel.

Any questions, give me a call.
